About the product
Turn wash day into a nourishing ritual for both scalp and lengths. Rinse Ritual™ Curl Defrizz + Define Pre-Wash Hair Oil gives dry, frizz-prone curls extra care before shampooing, helping protect lengths and ends from drying out during washing. The pre-wash hair treatment coats the hair with a conditioning layer that helps retain moisture while leaving curls softer, smoother, and easier to define after washing.
This 100% natural pre-shampoo oil for curls combines lightweight organic sunflower seed and jojoba oils with nourishing baobab, argan, sweet almond, macadamia, and avocado oils. Flaxseed oil and vitamin E complete the conditioning blend, helping soften dry strands and reduce the roughness that can make curls appear frizzy or undefined.
How it works
Think of pre-wash hair oil as a little extra protection before shampoo. Unlike a traditional hair oil that is used as a finishing step, a pre-wash hair oil is applied before cleansing to help shield dry lengths and ends from moisture loss during washing. The blend is specially formulated to care for both hair and scalp, making it an all-in-one pre-wash ritual from roots to ends.
Curly and wavy hair naturally tends to be drier because the scalp’s natural oils have a harder time travelling down twists, bends, and curls. That can mean dry ends, frizz, roughness, and less definition. Hair oiling for curly hair means applying a nourishing oil before shampooing to give the lengths and ends extra care before cleansing. Adding this step to your curl care routine helps support the areas that often need it most.
Use this pre-wash hair treatment whenever your curls feel dry, rough, or difficult to manage. By making hair oiling part of your wash-day routine, you can help your natural curl pattern look smoother, more supple, and beautifully defined without a greasy or heavy feeling after washing.

How to use
Apply this pre-wash hair oil to dry hair and scalp before shampooing. Divide the hair into sections and distribute the oil through the lengths, concentrating on dry or frizz-prone areas and the ends. Massage a small amount gently into the scalp.
Leave the pre-shampoo oil on for 10–15 minutes. Shampoo thoroughly and follow with your usual conditioner or hair mask. If you have fine hair or have applied a generous amount, shampoo twice to remove any remaining oil.
Use this pre-wash hair oiling treatment for your curls once or twice a week, or whenever they need extra softness and nourishment. For a more intensive treatment, leave the pre-wash hair treatment on overnight and wash it out the following morning.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why has hair oiling become such a popular pre-wash ritual?
Hair oiling and pre-shampoo treatments has become a popular way to prepare both hair and scalp before wash day. By applying oil before shampoo, the hair gets an extra layer of protection and care before cleansing, while dry flakes, styling residue, and buildup can be softened so they are easier to wash away.
It also gives dry lengths and ends extra protection before they are exposed to water and shampoo, which can sometimes leave the hair feeling stripped or dry. The idea is simple: nourish first, cleanse second. This helps create a fresher, more cared-for starting point after every wash and turns hair oiling into an easy ritual that can be adapted to different hair and scalp needs.
-
What hair types is it for?
This pre-shampoo oil is made for wavy, curly, and coily hair that is prone to dryness, frizz, roughness, or a lack of definition. It is especially useful when curls feel dehydrated or become difficult to shape after washing.
Hair oiling for curly hair means applying a nourishing oil before shampooing to give dry lengths and ends extra care before cleansing. Because curly and coily hair naturally tends to be drier, pre-wash oiling can help protect against moisture loss during washing, soften rough strands, and reduce frizz. The oil is then washed out with shampoo, leaving curls feeling softer, smoother, and easier to define without a heavy or greasy finish.
-
Will the oil make my curls greasy or heavy?
Hair oiling treatments are designed to be used before washing and shampooed out afterwards. This allows you to give the hair intensive oil-based care without leaving the same amount of oil behind as with a traditional leave-in hair oil. If you have very fine hair or curls that are easily weighed down, we recommend starting with a smaller amount. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and wash the oil out well with shampoo.
-
Which Rinse Ritual™ Pre-Wash Hair Oil should I choose?
Pick the pre-wash hair and scalp oil that best matches your main concern:
- Curl Defrizz + Define: A hair oil for dry, frizz-prone curls and waves that need more softness, smoothness, and definition.
- Dry Scalp Relief: For a dry, tight, itchy, or sensitive-feeling scalp in need of soothing moisture and comfort.
- Flake Control: For visible dry flakes and buildup that need loosening before shampooing.
- Hair Glossing: For dull or rough hair that needs more smoothness, softness, and shine.
- Length Repair: For dry, damaged, or brittle lengths and ends prone to splitting.
Got more than one concern? Mix and match — use one pre-shampoo oil on the scalp and another through the lengths and ends.
